Unable to CLEAR password from password field

The ID and the password now auto-populate for some reason. I think I clicked "save" or "remember" password on a past remote control meeting. Now I can't enter any new passwords provided to me from the other end. My account randomly puts in passwords but of course not the right one. What can I do to change this setting so that I can again enter unique passwords???

    Hello @MWaters,

    To stop the field from auto-populating with random passwords, you need to disable the random password option.

    You can do this in the Security tab of the TeamViewer's options:

    This will replace the random password by a hyphen:

    Now, you need to make sure to set up the permanent password correctly. To do so, please follow this procedure:

    I hope this could help. 😊

    Hello @eskimopi,

    The above-mentioned instructions explain how to disable the random password, in other words "to get the hyphen instead of a password".

    If you want to have a random password displayed, please select one of the below-indicated password options.

    I hope this could help. 🍀
